To some part, I think that's due to the fact that most residents on the lake's shore are NOT in the yacht-owning class!

I agree with Pooh that it is somewhat "isolated!"

I agree with EdVinMass that the chain of lakes [Griffin, Harris, et al] offers a real boater more opportunities!

Thank you. I appreciate your input, as well as everyone else who posted.

Ours is not a yacht; just a 25 foot Bayliner with cuddy cabin, good for Lake Champlain or the ocean. It is outfitted with all modern "stuff".
Bought for fishing.

In whatever photos I managed to find on Lake Weir, I didn't see any boats.....so "I hear you".

Last thing I'd want to be is in an isolated place where the homes are few and far between due to "lack of building".......sometimes folks buy the land and never get around to building on it. Again, I was just surprised that there was a larger body of water right north of TV.

The lakes we saw as part of the "chain of lakes" were very nice and they were amazing........bigger than we expected them to be. Just like any other part of the country, it often takes many trips to scout out the surrounding areas.

Again, thanks to all who responded.
